Five Things You May Not Have Known About Me
I’m tagging myself for this meme.
One
January is my real name. I was born in February and on time. My dad simply liked the name—no stories to tell there. And yes, I’ve heard just about every January joke in the book.
Two
I’m an only child. People ask me if I miss growing up without brothers and sisters. My standard response is, “How can I miss what I’ve never had?”
Three
I’m a HUGE Red Sox fan; I’ll watch roughly 150 out of 162 games a year. Baseball season cannot start soon enough for me. Go Sox!
Four
I used to (unofficially) sing backup for a local Virginia band called the Mudpuppies. I had the biggest crush on the lead singer named Hayden (oh, Hayden). As one of three backup singers, the band named us “The Muddetts.”
Five
When I lived in NYC, I worked at the headquarters of the Associated Press. One day at lunch I ran into JFK Jr. I’m not going to pretend we talked, or that he even noticed me. But he was tall and beautiful and I knew who he was right away.
Six (a bonus)
I can't swim.

Love,

I loved what you wrote about poetry. And the poem is tremendous - woo hoo! I especially love the way the poem opens - and then takes it wider - as wide as it can go. Great stuff January (btw happy birthday coming up in Feb. too.)
But you're right, you never really can tell in the blogosphere.
i owe you a thank you!
(Saw your pictures of your new grandchild--congratulations! So adorable.)
